Syringe Driver Training

A syringe drive provides a safe and effective way of drug administration and can be used to maintain symptom control for palliative care patients who are unable to take oral medication, or who require a constant therapeutic infusion.

This interactive workshop is for registered nurses who have previously been trained but not used a syringe driver recently and would like a refresher.

What will I learn from this 2 hour course?

• Refresh and update your skills
• General principles when caring for a patient with a syringe pump
• Recognise and understand medications and dose ranges most commonly used in a syringe pump
• Increase confidence in assembling and setting up the T34 correctly, discussing common problems that arise and how to deal with them

Please note a certificate of attendance will be issued but we are unable to assess competence in practice.

You must provide us with a PO Number and an invoice address in order to gain access to the course.
